Well my daughter went down to the shore with her friend. They are 12 and 13. She and her friend are the most responciple, police, and kind kids I have ever ment. Well the house she is at with her friend is pack [25people, people are sleeping on the deck and it a town house with noisy neighbors, nowhere in the house is quiet but safe!] and they are so tired. They are 2 days into there 1.5 week trip until my husband and I come down and we [daughter too] go to OUR house for a week. Well anyway the want to stay at our house during the night to sleep. It would be like 12 hours alone in the saftest place, nice neighbors and wonderful people. There house is only 5min away. I cant decide if I should let them spend the night until my husband and i go down and there family goes home. My daughters friends mother is okay with it, same with my husband because its so close. Im still scared though. Even though they are responciple, my daughter know where everything is, and its safe im still scared.

What should I say?! It may sound crazy, but its like them spending the night alone but with someone there if they need them. FYI: I would never harm the children and the mother would check the house everynight to make sure everything is locked, they know the basics [911, never answer the door to strangers. And the house the are at now is safe, just loud and alot of people. Here mom was so upset and embarrased that it is the way it is, i forgive her though, things just got out of hand.

God people! Its all family and nice people! I know all of them. No the family is not staying at my LARGE HOUSE! They have a town house and they need to deal with it. I have a parenting brain. The house is 4 blocks away. God!

A responsible parent would go down there NOW and remove their daughter from that type of chaotic situation. WIth 25 people - you are just asking for your daughter to be raped, molested, etc...
And NO - you should NOT let a 12 and 13 year old stay in a house alone until you get there! That is irresponsible too.
Where is your parenting brain?????

I know I wouldn't let my responsible, polite and kind 13 year old daughter stay the nights alone in that situation. Especially not for a week and a half. If they have to get out of the townhouse I'd have them invite one or two of the older but still responsible people to stay with them. But two kids alone, no matter how great they are is asking for trouble.

Who is putting so much pressure on you that you can decide what to do /You are so confused that you dont think right I am the mother of 5 grown up kids Here my advice Take your dauther and bring her back home WITHOUT the friend WHen she is not in school hired a mature baby sitter to stay at home with her When we are traveling we have to make sure our kid is safe Do as you wish but you will have to face the consequences

Well if there are 25 people staying at this friend's townhouse - why can't several of them go stay at YOUR townhouse overnight? Perhaps one of the adults who's supposed to be watching all these young kids???
